Trait

Abnormal mesentery morphology

Folds of membranous tissue (peritoneum, mesothelium) attached to the wall of the abdomen and enclosing viscera. Examples include the mesentery for the small intestine; the transverse mesocolon, which attaches the transverse portion of the colon to the back wall of the abdomen; and the mesosigmoid, which enfolds the sigmoid portion of the colon. Cells of the same embryologic origin also surround the other organs of the body such as the lungs (pleura) or the heart (pericardium).

4 genes linked to Abnormal mesentery morphology

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal mesentery morphology is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.

Gene	How often it is seen	Conditions
CISD2CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
WFS1wolframin ER transmembrane glycoprotein	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
CHST14carbohydrate sulfotransferase 14	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
DSEdermatan sulfate epimerase	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition

How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
